StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 716
"I don't know much about warships, but a super warship tens of miles long and made of countless tons of steel and boulders should be lightly parked above August Grad, and fly as lightly as a feather to our destination. Where it wants to go may not be as simple as we imagined."

Augustus showed a slightly moved expression, he didn't act like him, he seemed hesitant: "Put the Sarnaga world ship in Augustegrad, she is a building even more magnificent than the palace .The Protoss Empire was able to send the Spear of Adun out of Aiur's gravity well with a city-sized launch pad, but we didn't."

In the end, Augustus still did not name the battleship, calling her the Prometheus or the Will of Keha.Now it seems that just the name of the world ship is enough to shock people, and there is no other such world ship in this world.

"Oh—my emperor, there won't be any problems. Before the birth of the old stars, the Xel'Nagas were traveling through the universe on their world ships." Narud said hehe He smiled: "When they decided which planet to land on, countless ships landed in the atmosphere like a palace, which is simply a miracle."

"Please believe that all worries are unnecessary."

In front of the emperor, Narud looked proud, wearing a black dress like a proud Braxis penguin.Rather than being a scientist, Narud is more in line with people's perceptions of diplomats and politicians. He is good at talking to people, proficient in etiquette, and speaks elegantly. Every word and deed can attract the attention of others.

"If there are ten world ships, then the Tyranid Empire can rule the world." Narud said eloquently, "I assure you, even if there is only one such ship, you can rule one-tenth of the world."

Augustus smiled and shook his head, expressing that he is not interested in ruling the world: "I think the requirements can be lowered a bit, as long as we can hold our existing territory."

For now, Narud's words can be listened to in reverse. He thinks that he is playing around with everyone else, and he is complacent about his outstanding performance.

Narud is an evil Xel'Naga shapeshifter who has had countless faces throughout his long life, always appearing in different guises to achieve his goals, but doing exactly the same thing—stealing trust, Incitement to war and ultimate unhesitating betrayal.

Backstabbing his former masters who trusted him so much, watching them show their awakened and extremely regretful expressions, it is hard to say whether Narud will enjoy it.

Perhaps, Narud was waiting for Augustus to show an extremely painful expression at the moment when he betrayed him.That's right, the smarter and the better at controlling people's hearts, the more difficult it is for people to accept the fact that they think they plan everything and control everything, but they are the ones who are tricked in the end.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Augustus's attitude softened a bit, and he asked again: "Emile, the empire does have a world ship now, but can our crew be able to play the role of this warship?" Full performance."

There are about [-] crew members on this Xel'Naga world ship, more than half of them are imperial soldiers sent by Renault.This number of crew already exceeds all the main warships of the empire, but it may not be enough for a warship of this level.

Driving a world ship may not require too many people, but if you want to use her to start and win a war, then it is different.

Of course, this is just an introduction. What Augustus really cares about is who is in the hands of this ship now, is it the Tyrann Empire or Narud?

If that person is Narud, then the answer to this question is already on the surface.

Narud's painstaking effort to build this world ship was definitely not to increase the power of the Tyranid Empire to resist Amon. When he came to the palace, his proud posture was like a rooster that had just laid an egg, thinking that he had become the master of the world.

This time, Narud came with the cannon, and he wanted to make Augustus willingly stick his head into the barrel and light the fuse himself.

He knows the art of satire.

"Of course it's not a problem." Narud could understand Augustus' concerns. The latter did not agree to implement the plan to build a large hybrid manufacturing plant in the empire because he was worried that he would not be able to fully control the hybrid.

Augustus neither directly refused nor agreed to it. Those who are good at figuring out the king's will understand that he intends to think about it again.After all, he is the emperor, the one who can finally decide everything.

Well, Narud is in no hurry at all.Amon's rebirth in the real universe is imminent, and Augustus and Artanis should be in a hurry, not him.

Narud can understand that from the standpoint of the king of a country, there are too many things to worry about, and it is inevitable to look forward and backward.But if Augustus was not prepared to accept Narud's suggestion from the very beginning, then why did he summon him in the palace? It would not be because he missed his old face.

"I have mentioned in the report submitted to the Admiralty and the Royal Palace about the training of the crew of the world ship. As long as the active operators are trained a little bit, they are enough to make them competent for all subsequent jobs." He continued. : "More than half of the members of the Imperial Engineering Corps have participated in the restoration of the world ship, and they know this warship well. The captain and crew are all from the Gorgon-class battlecruiser. Much easier."

The Tyrannian Empire originally owned some Xel'Naga spaceships, most of which were acquired during the expedition of Al.

Although the technologies used by these Naganaga spaceships are incomprehensible and irreproducible, as long as one knows the operating procedures and methods of use, it is not difficult to drive them with human intelligence.

"Hehe." Augustus smiled, obviously very satisfied with Narud's guarantee.

Emir Narud, my dear friend, your guarantees are really worthless.

"The worldship is a small world that can run on its own. Inside is another world, far more spectacular than what you can see on the Spear of Adun." Narud's damn competitive spirit prompted him to say the above This passage: "Your Majesty, you really should go and see for yourself."

"I will definitely go." Augustus realized that Narud didn't need to brag about the performance of the world ship. In fact, the shocking words that came out of Narud's mouth were not exaggerated.

After the restoration of the Naganaga world ship was completed, Augustus did not go up once.

"So, Emil, do you think the Worldship can compete with the Ark of the Protoss Empire?" He paused and asked Narud.

"Actually, I have no doubts about it." Narud smiled confidently, as he always did in the past.

"Something I have to tell you, a dark ark has appeared, together with a whole fleet of corrupted arbitrators!" Augustus showed a stern expression on his face:

"Our Protoss friends determined that it was the Pride of Ortaris, another of the three Arkships of the Protoss Empire. After the civil war, the surviving arbitrator class took away the last supporters of the traditional system, so as not to let the Blood of fellow countrymen."

"They just ran away, and they said such a noble thing." Tychus basically stood there dozing, but interrupted abruptly.

"You're right." Raynor sang with Tychus: "If the arbitrator is smart enough, he won't lose both Al and the Protoss Empire."

"By the way, if we lose both Keha and the Tyrannian Empire, we will surely be crucified on the pillar of shame, wise gentlemen." Although Augustus only said in a joking tone , but the others immediately shut up, like two chickens lying on their nests.

But Raynor and Tychus didn't feel that Augustus was really angry. The former changed his posture and continued to stand, while the latter started to light a cigarette.

"Two days ago, the fleet of arbitrators that suddenly appeared burned Planet Christmas and destroyed the satellite base of Paralta." Kerrigan on the other side took Augustus's words and said: "In By the time we got the word, they were already heading all the way to Zenn."

"My God, this is really the saddest news I've heard in a while." Of course Narud knew about this, and it was known much earlier than the empire.

He was so sad that he could hardly stop laughing.

Wars are raging on the borders of the empire, and wars are fought everywhere, even those fringe planets that have never been attacked are involved.At the same time, many previously unexpected enemies and friends are coming.

As an important branch left after the old Protoss Empire was torn apart, the Arbitrator Fleet that left Aiur and fled in exile among the stars is of course inevitably destined to be corrupted by Kara.

An unprecedented chaos and madness swept Kara, and the deeper the understanding of Kara, the deeper the spiritual sea formed by countless thoughts, the deeper the damage.

The resistance to Amon's will was extremely fierce, but it ended very quickly, dissipating without a trace like a drop of water falling into the water.

By the time the Arbiter's fleet reappeared, it had become a dark fleet in madness.

The ark ship Otaris Pride has completely changed its appearance. The previously bright and gorgeous golden-blue battleship armor has turned into a dark and deep gray-blue, and large chunks of dark blue crystals condensed from void energy are like knives. Arrays are displayed on both sides of the warship's side, like rows of bayonets gleaming with cold light, like fangs waiting to be blooded.Such changes are not uncommon on the warships of other arbitrator fleets.

From this, it can be seen that the Arbiter Fleet may have fallen earlier and more deeply than their Durham brethren.They did find their gods, as did the Tal'darines.

But in any case, whether it is this fleet or Durham's golden fleet, they are burning the land of the Tyrann Empire at this moment.The Tal'darim deathfleet from Slane would have done the same if they hadn't been blocked by Zulwyn's primordial swarm.

No matter how things go, humans are always getting beat up.

"We knew it would be like this." Augustus felt that if Narud was not a Xel'Naga, then his best job would definitely be an actor: "Kara once saved the protoss, but now it has become shackles."

"It's ironic. The Supreme Council led by the Arbiters also ordered the banishment of those protoss who refused to join the Kara, and they became the hope of saving the protoss." Kerrigan said.

Augustus continued: "Unfortunately, our Protoss allies can't help us much. The corrupted Protoss fleet is burning theirs as well as our planet. The invasion is like wildfire in the Koprulu Sector We had to fight on multiple fronts, the front lines were long and thin, and the troops on each line of defense were stretched thin."

"In order to compete with Amon's Dark Ark, we have to send ours."

"It won't be long before the Xel'Naga World Ship will be ready for a war. It won't be easier than filling up a car's fuel tank." Narud said confidently: "Just like me As said, everything is ready."

With his people on both sides, Narud could even take the time to write the script ahead of time, but he wasn't sure he needed to put in that effort to act in front of Augustus.

It's different now, Narud is no longer the lion in the circus who is in charge of performing fire hoops, he should throw the animal trainer into the animal pen and let him tap dance.

Narud is getting more and more tired of playing the boring Emperor game with these humans. He is a Xel'Naga and the guardian of Aurus, so why do he have to suffer.

Amon is a self-righteous guy, arrogant, and looks down on other species, and in this regard, Narud is no different.

"Emile, I know you are not a military expert, but you must know more about the Xel'Naga than anyone else. If you were the fallen Xel'Naga Emon and wanted to take down the Koprulu sector, what would you do? ?” Augustus asked Narud.

"Please forgive my ignorance, Your Majesty." Narud didn't seem to have thought that Augustus would ask such a question. He was suddenly caught by the question, and his face was flushed. In the end, he had to smile embarrassingly:

"I do not know."

He finally had to say reluctantly: "Of course, I will summon more forces, the more the better."

"It would be great if Amon's command ability was as good as yours." Renault said sarcastically.

"." Narud spread his hands, not knowing why an imperial general always confronted him, a harmless little old man. He said earlier that professional matters should be done by professional people, which is correct way of doing.

Narud would never reveal Amon's plans, aside from anything else, but he was not a fool, an idiot.

"Okay." Augustus showed a hopeless expression: "It seems that I have to hold another military meeting with the people of the Supreme Command of the Empire, and even you can't help us in this regard, Aye. Mill."

As he spoke, Augustus nodded towards Narud, indicating that he can go back now.

If Narud is going to say nothing from now on, and is no longer going to do anything for the Tyrannian Empire, then what is the use of Augustus keeping him.

Amon would not live long, and neither would Narud.

"I thought you would do something here." Reynolds whispered to Augustus after Naruto walked out of the throne room calmly and walked far in the wide avenue of the Hall of Mirrors.

"That's because you don't know how terrifying Narud's power is." Augustus looked at Lei Nuo, and found a statement that everyone could understand: "He is not a human being, and he is probably a powerful spiritual creature. Amon worked hard, and maybe he got a gift as a matter of course."

"So he's out of business," Tychus said.

"The explanation makes sense." Renault said, "You mean, since he is not a human being, there is no need to explain it to him."

"I didn't say that." Augustus realized that he was a bit reluctant to attack Narud, and it seemed a better choice to tie him up and force him to reveal more secrets.

Augustus made a thoughtful expression, but still felt that Narud should be dealt with.After brewing for a while, he sat back on the throne that was much higher than the ground, and finally picked up a crystal cup on the tray next to it, and threw it on the ground contentedly.

In an instant, the cup shattered: "Do it!"

"See what a nice word that is." Tychus's blue eyes stood up at the sound of a fight.

"I don't understand why you have to drop this cup." Kerrigan looked at Augustus in shock: "This is a cup made of natural crystal, using Cassia crystal!"

(The Kassia crystal protoss believe that this crystal can increase their population growth rate, but another theory is that the Kassia crystal also inhibits reproduction.)
"This is a pre-booked signal." Augustus stretched out both hands, pointing to the pile of broken glass with two index fingers: "Life needs a sense of ritual, you know"

"You can read minds."

"I said I didn't understand!" Kerrigan said, with her hips akimbo.
